Bee Gees - Gilbert Green Lyrics
On a hill, inside a house in covewell reach
Stands a man who's feeling very tired
Looking at a song he wrote some time ago
Could have made it big inside a Broadway show
Every day I go away and find ideas
Couldn't I write a song about a man who's dead
Didn't really know if he was off his head
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes
Too bad for Gilbert Green
We can tell the world that he was right
Sitting in his attic on a sunny day
Mending 50 goblets that are worn
His hearing wasn't good but his eyes were clear
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes
Too bad for Gilbert Green
We can tell the world that he was right
Now the house is burnt along with Gilbert Green
Sad to see his sisters stand and cry
And in the basement lies a song that wasn't seen
Tells the tale of laughing men and yellow beans
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes
Too bad for Gilbert Green
Now we can tell the world that he was right

Bee Gees Gilbert Green Comments
I had not heard Gilbert Green. But as soon as I heard, I already liked it. Robin is wonderful ... Bee Gees is the best band of all time.
I too have the version by Gerry Marsden on a various artists CD I bought 20 years ago called Guilty Pleasures. I bet that CD is now as rare today as much of the music on it.
wonderful
A Robin's lead singing song that was given away. Critics wondered why. There only existed a live concert performance of it. Then it was included as a bonus track in the 2006' reissue of the 1967' Bee Gees album " Bee Gees 1st"
He "s Robin sing .. listen the voice .. please ..
Se ha convertido en mi favorita... He tenido muchas favoritas de bebe gees por cierto...
I have a cover of this song, sung by Gerry Marsden (yes, he of Gerry and the Pacemakers!); with orchestration and a Grand Finale - almost a symphony! It was released in the late 1960's, so it is contemporaneous with the Bee Gees' own version....but hearing them, I have to say I prefer theirs to Gerry's. (But then, I'm a real Bee Gees freak anyway...)
